P Zero tires are Max Performance Summer tires derived from 100 years of Pirelli motorsport experience and developed for the drivers of powerful sports cars, sports coupes and high performance luxury sedans. Initially introduced as Original Equipment on the Aston Martin DB9, Audi R8, Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Lamborghini Murcielago, Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT and Mercedes-Benz AMG vehicles, the P Zero lineup also includes select replacement tire sizes. Pirelli's warranty does not cover tires that develop compound cracking due to use in ambient temperatures below 45° Fahrenheit (7° Celsius), so the P Zero, like all summer tires, is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
P Zero tires feature a special silica and carbon black tread compound that proves competent during the first few miles of driving when the tire is still cold, as well as consistent performance throughout the tire's life. The tread compound is molded into Pirelli's S-treme asymmetric design in which the location and width of the circumferential and lateral grooves minimize deformation to blend responsive handling, hydroplaning resistance and wet traction with dry road performance, even wear and acoustic comfort. Special nano-composites in the compound beneath the tread protect the casing from deterioration and merge sport handling with ride comfort. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by polyamide cord plies and an integration of nylon and aramid cord that controls tire profile deformation and stabilizes the tread area to enhance high-speed capability and handling.
Limited sizes of the P Zero are available with Pirelli Noise Cancelling System, which involves the manufacturer adhering a layer of sound-absorbing foam to the inner liner of the tire to reduce cabin noise in the vehicle. These sizes are identified on the Specs page and in the search results.
El P Zero pertenece al segmento: Máximo Rendimiento Para Verano y es el resultado de más de 100 años de experiencia de Pirelli en el automovilismo deportivo (motorsport). Fue desarrollado para conductores de autos deportivos poderosos, cupés deportivos y sedanes de lujo de alto desempeño. Se introdujo inicialmente como equipo original (O.E., por sus siglas en inglés) en el Aston Martin DB9, Audi R8, Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Lamborghini Murciélago, Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT y los Mercedes-Benz AMG, pero la línea también incluye gran cantidad de tamaños de repuestos. La garantía de Pirelli no cubre neumáticos que han desarrollado grietas debido a su uso en temperaturas ambientales por debajo de 45º Fahrenheit (7º Celsius) y como todo neumático de verano, el P Zero, no fue diseñado para ser utilizado en temperaturas cercanas al nivel de congelación o superficies con hielo o nieve.
El P Zero presenta un compuesto de caucho con un sílice especial y carbón negro, que permiten que el neumático ofrezca todas las características de desempeño constantemente, aunque este frío y durante su vida útil. Este compuesto es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento con diseño S-treme asimétrico de Pirelli, en el cual, la ubicación y anchura de las ranuras laterales y circunferenciales disminuyen la deformación; permitiendo combinar maniobrabilidad responsiva, resistencia al deslizamiento en agua (hydroplaning) y tracción sobre superficies mojadas, con, rendimiento sobre superficies secas, desgaste parejo y andar silencioso. Compuestos especiales nano en la mezcla de caucho debajo de la banda de rodamiento, protegen el armazón de deterioro, además de combinar maniobrabilidad deportiva con un andar confortable.
La estructura interna incluye correas gemelas de acero reforzadas con una capa de cordón de poliamida y una mezcla de cordón de nailon y aramid, para controlar la deformación del flanco y estabilizar el área debajo de la banda de rodamiento, esto permite mejorar la maniobrabilidad y capacidad, al conducir a velocidades elevadas.
El P Zero con el sistema “Noise Cancelling” de Pirelli, se encuentra disponible en tamaños limitados. Esta tecnología adhiere una capa de espuma, que absorbe sonidos en el interior del neumático, para reducir el ruido en la cabina del vehículo. Los tamaños con esta tecnología están identificados en las páginas de Especificaciones y en los resultados de búsqueda.

In the CT Area, had about 3-5 inches of snow fall a few weeks ago, tires handled better than what people had reviewed it for with the snow and all. With trac control on minimal to almost 0 fish tailing or spinning out as long as you drove with caution...
In the CT Area, had about 3-5 inches of snow fall a few weeks ago, tires handled better than what people had reviewed it for with the snow and all. I have a manual 6 spd rwd g35, only time i spun out was when I trac control off, and i purposely wanted to see how hard i can make turns before spinning out. The streets were completely clear so it was something I had a chance doing. With trac control on minimal to almost 0 fish tailing or spinning out as long as you drove with caution. I had my cousin give the car also and he uses Pirelli P Sports for his evo, and he really liked what the tires had to offer as for ride comfort, and responsiveness.

I purchased these as an upgrade, mounted on 17" Bullitt wheels, on my modified Grand Marquis- not only were they the least expensive, they actually had the best mileage rating. They are quiet and smooth, and have excellent dry traction, and I'll definitely buy them again...

...I'm not too aggressive but they stick well on dry pavement...
I bought these tires with high expectations based on all the favorable reviews but I was willing to have some grace since I put them on an all-original, 30 year old garage queen I turned into a daily driver. Any tire would have been an improvement over the 14 year old tires I replaced but the Kumhos did not disappoint. They are smooth and quiet. Handling is great. I'm not too aggressive but they stick well on dry pavement. I was easily able to get a predictable fish tail on humid asphalt so I'm going to assume I need a little caution with wet handling. The front tires tracked fine but only 2300 pounds and rear wheel drive doesn't take much to get the rear end loose on a wet curve.

...However I've been very pleased with the comfort and ride of the tire Kumho. I'm a big fan and believe it's one for the best touring tire for the value.
This was the first time for my Bmw 5 series. I replaced Sumitomo HTR , which lasted a longtime and was a great handling tire. However I've been very pleased with the comfort and ride of the tire Kumho. I'm a big fan and believe it's one for the best touring tire for the value.

...Dry handling and ride comfort has been pretty good although I feel there is a bit more road noise than I'd like...
Still have these on my Accord 4cyl. and they look like they're about 1/2 worn with about 35K miles on them. I'd say overall I'm pretty happy with them considering I paid about $75.00 a tire a few years ago. Looks like they'll give me around 70K miles which is great so nothing to complain there. Dry handling and ride comfort has been pretty good although I feel there is a bit more road noise than I'd like. Haven't had the need to re-balance them at all and seem to be all wearing evenly but I do rotate on a regular basis. Great value for the price.

These are good tires with very good tread life, at least for our mostly highway use.
DO NOT BUY these 225/45R19 tires if you have the 3rd gen (2014-present) Mazda 6 with 19" wheels. The road noise from 45-60mph is horrendous. It's a pulsing whine that made me do everything I could to stay out of that speed range.

...Excellent treadwear. They start off quite but get louder towards the end of their life span...
For a cheaper tire they're awesome. The traction and stability is phenomenal. Excellent treadware. They start off quite but get louder towards the end of their life span. Also, these tires were not babied and were driven on everything from highway, city, and major construction for a majority of the time. Keep in mind they're ment for drivers. If you're looking for a more relaxed drive then get a tire with a lower speed rating.
